If MM moved anywhere other than WL in my final season, Id retire in a second.
Forum > North American Pro League > USA Conference > Split up the talent, move teams to different Pro leagues?

This shit is seriously getting ridiculous. The 32 best teams in the USA region are NEVER all located in USAPL. Why do people think we need to have the "best" 32 teams in the World League at inception? How can you seriously decide the "best" other than by accomplishments on the field?
USAPL has become better and better over time because teams have to prove it on the field. You can't get here AND stay with smoke and mirrors. The World League will be no different.

The Pro World Tourney (PWT)?
Hazy's GLB Addicts Tourney?
LARS?
GLB's Top Pro Teams poll?
Those all seem to be great measures of determine the best 32 teams.

Lincoln didn't make the playoffs in Season 9 so we didn't get an invite for the Season 10 PWT (despite being a Sweet 16 team in the Season 9 PWT). Lincoln finished in the Sweet 16 of the Hazy/Addicts tourney. At last check, we were in the Top 30 of the LARS and on the Top 25 bubble for the Top Pro Team poll.
I don't think any of those things matter though. The idea was simple. You make the conference championship in a Pro region and you make the World League.
The NCAA men's basketball tournament doesn't have the top 65 D-1 teams but the tournament is fun because Northwest Middle Southern Arkansas State University gets a shot to prove they can compete with North Carolina. They rarely win but it has its own unique intrigue imo. We won't ever have an objective measure to decide who belongs in the World League so let's just accept the most unbiased (and admittedly imperfect) alternative: Win your Pro conference and you get to the World League.
Once you make the World League, make the playoffs or GTFO.
Did I miss a memo? Does GLB expire after Season 11?

You're joking, right? That'd be a terrible way to decide - it's set up to create a winner, not a top 32. SDL and WSI were in the top 32 teams in Hazy this year; MM wasn't.
The PWT has perhaps one of the better formats for it, but obviously has invite issues. The poll gets pretty fuzzy at the 20+ range; there are a lot of eligible candidates and there's enough rabble-rabble about the poll when it doesn't mean anything; it would be a full-fledged shitstorm if it did. Even the computer rankings have problems (don't they always?)
There will never be a way to determine the best 32 teams and form them into a league.
